[ubuntu-za] help - connectivity after installing ubuntu server 16.04

[Timothy Spring]

Tried the driver download, my lack of knowledge quickly became
apparent. I did notice there are a bunch of iwlwifi files in the
/lib/firmware directory

More googling led me to to lsmod, and it claims the iwlwifi driver is loaded.

Ran
sudo ifconfig wlp2s0 192.168.10.50 255.255.255.0 up

but got: SIOCSIFADDR Invalid argument

When I run ifconfig -a, though, I see it's assigned that IP to the network card.

Not sure I should be trying to assign IPs independently of the dhcp
server - during install it definitely managed to communicate with the
dhcp server, if the onscreen messages were to be believed.
